du·o·logue

Losing myself in two completely separate mediums I regained the real me. It was the beginning of my self-discovery and the inspiration behind finding myself anew, both in personal interest as well as in my professional life. The explorations led to the discovery of a new psychological space, allowing me to connect through my own means. Rethinking distance, re-discovering space. The exploration of chemical processes became a new obsession. Images started looking ambiguous and abstract. These abstractions stimulated new investigations, led to new truths within themselves. The process was very scientific, technical, mechanical and systematic, but it led to spontaneous, arbitrary and accidental results.
